Figure Markets CEO Mike Cagney on Bridging Traditional Finance and DeFi
Figure Markets is constructing a vertically integrated ecosystem that merges origination, lending, and trading of real-world assets on blockchain rails. CEO Mike Cagney emphasizes the platform’s focus on composability as a catalyst for DeFi’s next evolution.
The company’s near-term strategy includes leveraging its home equity line of credit (HELOC) production to create a closed-loop system where assets are originated, traded, and recycled within the Figure Markets infrastructure.
